National Game 



By A. G, SPALDING 

Price, $2.00 Net 

A book of 600 pages, profusely illustrated 
with over 100 full page engravings, and hav- 
ing sixteen forceful cartoons by Homer C. 
Davenport, the famous American artist. 

No man in America is better equipped 
to write on all the varied phases of the Na- 
tional Game than is A. G. Spalding. His 
observation and experience began when the 
game was young. He gained fame as a 
pitcher forty years ago, winning a record as 
player that has never yet been equalled. 
He was associated with the management of 
the pastime through trying years of struggle 
against prevailing evils. He opposed the 
gamblers; he fought to eradicate 
drunkenness ; he urged and intro- 
duced new and higher ideals for 
the sport ; he was quick to see that 
ball playing and the business man- 
agement of clubs, at the same time 
and by the same men, were imprac- 
ticable ; he knew that ball players 
might be quite competent as magnates, but not while playing 
the game ; he was in the forefront of the fight against syndi- 
cating Base Ball and making of a Nation's pastime a sordid 
Trust; he was the pioneer to lead competing American 
Base Ball teams to a foreign land ; he took two champion 
teams to Great Britain in 1 874, and two others on a tour of 
the world in 1 888-9 ; he was present at the birth of the 
National League, and has done as much as any living 
American to uphold and prolong the life of this great pioneer 
Base Ball organization. 

When A. G. Spalding talks about America's National 
Game he speaks by authority of that he does know, because 




he has been in the councils of the management whenever 
there have been times of strenuous endeavor to purge it 
from abuses and keep it clean for the people of America 
— young and old 

In this work Mr. Spalding, after explaining the causes 
that led him into the undertaking, begins with the inception 
of the sport; shows how it developed, by natural stages 
from a boy with a ball to eighteen men, ball, bats and bases ; 
gives credit for the first scientific application of system to 
the playing of the game to Abner Doubleday, of Coopers- 
town, N. Y.: treats of the first Base Ball club ; shows how 
rowdyism terrorized the sport in its early days ; how gam- 
bling and drunkenness brought the pastime into disfavor 
with the masses, and how early organizations were unable 
to control the evils that insidiously crept in. He then 
draws a series of very forceful pictures of the struggle to 
eradicate gambling, drunkenness and kindred evils, and shows 
how the efforts of strong men accomplished the salvation of 
the great American game and placed it in the position it occu- 
pies to-day— the most popular outdoor pastime in the world. 

Interspersed throughout this interesting book are remin- 
iscences of Mr. Spalding's own personal observations and 
experiences in the game as player, manager and magnate, 
covering a period of many years. Some of these stories 
deal with events of great import to Base Ball, and others 
have to do with personal acts and characteristics of players 
prominent in the game in earlier days — old time favorites 
like Harry and George Wright, A. C. Anson, Mike Kelly, 
Billy Sunday and others. 

This book should be in the library of every father in 
the land, for it shows how his boy may be built up physically 
and morally through a high-class pastime. It shouki be in 
the hands of every lad in America, for it demonstrates the 
possibilities to American youth of rising to heights of eminent 
material success through a determined adherence to things 
that make for the upbuilding of character in organizations as 
well as of men.

FOREWORD 



In presenting this drill, I do so at the request of those 
who have seen it used to great advantage in different 
fields, both association, school and individual training. 

The drill has proven the most enthusiastic of any calis- 
thenic work that I have ever been able to discover, and 
the results have proven very much more satisfactory, 
because the class enters into it with more vigor, vim 
and snap. 

As a rule there are some classes not very favorably 
disposed to calisthenics, but I have yet to see the class 
that did not heartily enjoy this drill, when they have a 
good hustling partner by their side, which forms a de- 
lightful competition in setting-up exercises. 

In looking over the drill, you will find that sometimes 
one pupil will hold a certain corrective position, while 
another completes a movement. This is an easy way to 
secure corrective results without annoying the student. 
As a rule, in corrective work, the younger students will 
fret when a corrective position is held very long. 

This drill has been a favorite with every class in which 
I have used it, especially so with business men's classes in 
several associations. 

Every one knows how monotonous it is to take exercise 
alone, even the most enthusiastic athlete wants company. 
Professional men who room in the same offices can get

together about ten minutes every noon and find much 
pleasure and recreation in each other's company. 

When a class falls in line for drill, it should always 
be the rule to line up according to height, because two 
of the same stature should work together. 

A 54 inch length school wand will serve for this drill, 
although the 42 inch length can be used. 

The counts should be in three classes, 8 and return at 
beg'inning, increased to 12 and return, then 16 return 
counts, for the movements herein.

Explanation to Series i, 2, 3, 4. 

When it is wished to have the student use both hands 
or arms in Series Nos. i, 2, 3, 4, all that is necessary 
is to give the order that the man on the right will hold 
his wand in Position i, 2, 3, etc., and the man on the left 
will flex fingers or arms in another position. 

It is always well to have the man who is holding the 
still position to be in a corrective posture, as it is very 
helpful to correct the figure. 

In doing this one man is getting corrective exercise 
while the other is acquiring muscular tone. Of course the 
men alternate their positions.

^oar'w^y Horisoimilal Bar 



No. A. The bar itself is made of selected hickory, having steel tubular ends 
into which iron sockets screw, holding rubber cushions. The socket on one 
end contains a left hand thread, on the other end a right hand thread. By 
fitting the bar in the doorway and turning it with the hands the ends are made 
to expand, and the friction applied by the rubber against the sides of the door- 
way is sufficient to sustain the weight of a heavy man. This bar may be used 
for chinning exercises, being adjustable to any height, also for abdominal work, 
as shown by cuts in margin of this page. Size of doorway in which bar will 
be used must be stated when ordering, as the adjustment is not great enough 
to meet all requirements in one size bar 

This No. A Bar is supplied regularly to fit any doorway under 33 inches in width. 

Bars to fit wider doorways Elxtra, 50c. 

Should not be used in doorways wider than 42 inches. If length larger than 42 inches is 
required, it would be advisable to use a regular horizontal bar. Various styles listed below. 

No. 101. The keys fastened to each 
end of bar fitin«the side sockets, which 
are secured to door jamb and hold 
the bar firmly in place. The parts are 
of malleable iron, very light, yet strong 
enough to sustain the heaviest man.i 
The bar may be quickly removed 
when not in use, leaving no projecting 
part. Complete with parts. 

This No. 101 Bar is supplied reguliu-ly to 
fit any doorway under 37 inches. Bars to fit

Standard Policy 



A Standard Quality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy. 

Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a 
Meuiufacturer to long maintain a Standard Qyality. 

To market his goods through a jobber, a manufacturer must provide a 
profit for the jobber as well as for the retail dealer. To meet these conditions 
of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to set a proportionately high list 
price on his goods to the consumer. 

To enable the glib salesman, when booking his orders, to figure out 
attractive profits to both the jobber and retailer, these high list prices are 
absolutely essential; but their real purpose will have been served when the 
manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured 
his order from the retailer. ... . - 

However, these deceptive high list prices are not air to the consumer, who 
does not, and, in reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices. 

When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading 
but alluring high list prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, and 
grapples with the situation as best he can, by offering "special discounts," 
which vary with local trade conditions. 

Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer 
and the jobber are assured; but as there is no stability maintained in the prices 
to the consumer, the keen competition amongst the local dealers invariably 
leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of the retailer are 
practically eliminated. 

This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. The jobber insists 
on lower, and still lower, prices. The manufacturer, in his turn, meets this 
demand for the lowering of prices by the only way open to him, viz. : the cheap- 
ening and degrading of the quality of his product. 

The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that, 1 3 years ago, in 1 899, 
A. G. Spalding & Bros, determined to rectify this demoralization in the Athletic 
Goods Trade, and inaugurated what has since become known as "The Spalding 
Policy." ^^ 

The "Spalding Policy" eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding 
Goods are concerned, and the rerail dealer secures the supply of Spalding 
Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer by which the retail dealer is 
assured a fair, legitimate and certain profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, and 
the consumer is assured a Standard Qyality and is protected from imposition. 

The "Spalding Policy" is decidedly for the interest and protection of the 
users of Athletic Goods, and acts in two ways : 

First. — ^The user is assured of genuine Official Standard Athletic Goods 
and the same prices to everybody. 

Second. — As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in 
purchasing at the proper time, the very best raw^ materials required 
in the manufacture of our various goods, well ahead of their 
respective seasons, and this enables us to provide the necesssary 
quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding Standard of Quality. 

All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are requested to supply 
consumers at our regular printed catalogue prices — neither more nor less — thesame 
prices that similar goods are sold for in our New York, Chicago and other stores. 

All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treated 
exactly alike and no special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone. 

This briefly is the " Spalding Policy," which has already been in successful 
operation for the past 13 years, and will be indefinitely continued. 

In other words, " The Spalding Policy " is a " square deal " for everybody.

conceded to be the criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar 
nature. For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit 
of currency, because it must legally contain a specific proportion of pure gold, 
and the fact of its being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government Stamp 
thereon. As a protection to the users of this currency against counterfeiting and 
other tricks, considerable money is expended in maintaining a Secret Service 
Bureau of Elxperts. Under the law, citizen manufacturers must depend to a 
great extent upon Trade-Marks and similar devices to protect themselves against 
counterfeit products — without the aid of "Government Detectives" or "Public 
Opinion " to assist them. 

Consequently the " Consumer's Protection " against misrepresentation and 
"inferior quality" rests entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the 
" Manufacturer." 

A. G. Spalding & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to " Quality," for 
thirty-four years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known throughout 
the world as a Guarantee of Quality as dependable in their field as the 
U. S. Currency is in its field. 

The necessity of upholding the Guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and 
maintaining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvi- 
ous as is the necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency. 

Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other 
consumers when he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his Trade- 
Mark and all that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic 
Goods to assist us in maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by 
insisting that our Trade-Mark be plainly stamped on all athletic goods which 
they buy, because without this precaution our best efforts towards maintaining 
Standard Quality and preventing fraudulent substitution will be ineffectual. 

Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of being 
high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of 
" inferior goods," with whom low prices are the main consideration. 

A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold 
and a guarantee to protect, must necessarily have higher prices than a manufac- 
turer of cheap goods, whose idea of and basis of a claim for Standard Quality 
depends principally upon the eloquence of the salesman. 

We know from experience that there is no quicksand more unstable than 
poverty in quality — and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.
